Of course, this was an entertaining "thing' to complete. I enjoyed just about all of the videos listed, and also viewed the most similar ones at the end of each video (other jokes, other commercials, etc.).
I chose to add a video to my blog called "Information R/evolution", by Michael Wesch, Kansas State University. Artist is a Professor of Cultural Anthropology. "Information R/evolution" describe information from typed on paper and filed to all aspects of Web 2.0, but an emphasis on information storage, retrieval, organization. Web 2.0 considers information and interconnection. Artist is the same as the one who did "Library 2.0", from our program, but 2.0 was from Jan 2007, and "Information R/evolution' was October 2007.
My favorite of the videos we watched for this thing was "Introducing the Book", which featured the help desk person demonstrating new 'book' technology, as compared to the scroll. An early adaptor to technology.
And my son will love 'Conan the Librarian', and the advertisement featuring a reader who imagines warfare in the trenches, with the message that 'reading increases the imagination' (the linked ad). And the Library Musical- went on a bit too long, but was quite fun.
